I just loved the look of the inspiration hearts. I wanted to try my sponge blending and this was the perfect opportunity. I love distress inks; #1 they blend amazing, and #2 they splot with water wonderfully.

I purchased a bunch of Hero Arts Wood Flower Stamps awhile back. While I really don't care for wooden based stamps [anymore], these worked perfectly for inking up the stamps. spritzing them with water, and stamping. I love this effect, and this is the closest I will get to water coloring. :)

Stunningly vibrant colours Vicki! I LOVE the way those colourful hearts pop against all that scrummy white and it is a fantastic take on the inspiration piece. The 'watercolour' piece is also beautiful and reminds me of those paintings by the French Impressionist artists! Have a lovely Sunday! Hazel xxMy Card Attic

Love the text background and how you can see this through the flowers. Such a dreamy card-thanks for joining TO. Also your heart card is so close to out photo at Fusion, wonderful take. Thanks for joining Fusion

Love, love, love your hearts! I'm new to distress inks, but they sure do blend beautifully and splotch amazingly! Your layered card is truly stunning though - I love the look of the text on top of your flowers. Beautifully done. xx

Beautiful hearts card Vicki, nearly missed this post I'm so far behind on Feedly from being away think I'll need to wipe the lot and start fresh. So back to this card, looooove the ok and the colours o your hearts.

Late getting over to you, but I love these cards! Especially the watercoloured background and the 'nearly' watercoloured flowers ;) Thanks so much for playing along at Craft Stamper Take It, Make It :)
